And yes, they can, even a prop sometimes can destroy those unqualified SPAA players. I have seen that happen thousands of times due to SPAA players only looking at their radar or shot target too far away that helping planes mark them
The PGZ09s AHEAD rounds tickling enemy jets because the shell explodes too early or late. Give me HE-VT over it any day of the week and Sunday. Heck, I fell more confident SPAAing in the WZ305.
Search and target lock are two different things entirely, and often two completely different radars on some vehicles.
More evidence Yall 2 havent actually looked into these tanks much.
Depending on how far away you are from the vehicle, that may not be high enough.
Thats where that graph I kept sharing a link to, and your two never looked at, comes into play.
You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
Have I played these particular 2 SPAA, no. And i never claimed i did.
But the way these SPAA work with their search and tracking radar I have looked into, enough that when I play against them and do decide to fly I have a reasonable chance of avoiding them.
You could too, if you cared enough to try.
Yes, this is why some SPAA have the 2 separate radars… I dont know where you were going with this.
Military radar, with the exception of the very early radars, can see into and through clouds. Clouds would only block a visual scan.
I believe he actually tried to keep the convo going, so the logic is not really broken. Yours was little effort which killed the convo as you gave him nothing to reply to.
You don’t need to reply, if the convo is dead and you have nothing to offer then leave it. You aren’t obliged to reply to someone.
Feel like i’m teaching people how to have a conversation.
I explained why people can track beyond searched elevation (as a continuation of further above) without losing situational awareness (In case anyone feels upset about STT tracking)
And here he replied
Clouds limit the height of CAS by blocking the view starting from 1000m height - I don’t assume people can’t understand this. Yet he stayed with scan elevation.
CAS won’t see anything above 1000, but SPAA radars can. Stayed with scan elevation and reinforced that CAS can be scanned at 1000m, advocating for higher alts regardless of clouds.
Why I feel he’s intentional instead of not understanding? This is what he is doing since the start of the thread.
Please don’t assume that I don’t understand how to have a conversation the same way as he assumed that we don’t know elevation, even though we have had far more SPAA games.
If this whole thing is too complicated to solve, we all agree to close this thread.
It’s not closed because i don’t deem it fit to close.
Anything else regarding it you can pm me as this is not the place to discuss staff actions, But until staff / OP wants the topic closed there’s no reason to currently. So i will end the conversation there.
And I explained the tracking and search are 2 different things. But you didnt pay attention.
Cloud cover doesnt block the whole map.
Some map and weather patterns are worse than others. If you are in a cloud heavy match, then dont fly CAS.
This is how it works in life, and since warthunder is a simi-realistic game how it works here.
Hence why during bad weather air support is usually grounded. At least before the advent of ground targeted air dropped munitions. Which havent been implemented in game yet.
I didnt assume, I based my comments off of what you and the other guy were saying, and quoted you when I replied.
You 2 arent here because you want to have a discussion about this, you just want someone to agree with you, which given the majority of responses here you 2 just dont know how to counter the SPAA you 2 spend the majority of time playing.
Seems we are out of topic, it doesn’t matter the weather is bad or not for SPAA, especially for ULQ players( yes, they can even see the planes in the clouds and shoot them)
For PGZ09 and M247, they can even lock any of CAS when they are respawned, especially considering most of the CAS at this BR don’t have RWR, these SPAA can easily ambush them because of their no tracers belts, And they can even intercept some F&F AGMs, such as AGM65 or AGM62, and that’s why they worth higher BR.
And of course, till now this guy still doesn’t believe the air alert has been one of the most unfair function for SPAA
@katyushá I am not sure if I can put game records and compare with them is it offensive? Such as K/D or K/B? because till now he is still said we are lack of “skill”
I don’t believe its unfair. It somewhat evens the playing field. Tanks can scout for CAS, its only fair that we can kinda scout air targets too. To add, ULQ settings or low settings allows easy spotting for tanks too without the need of them shooting for a muzzle flash.
As for the OP, I do believe the PGZ09 and the M247 are highly effective against CAS as long as they know how to use them properly. No one should have bad K/D with them honestly unless they go fight tanks with it lol Also I tried locking unto AGMs with the m247, it doesn’t lock properly on them so I have to eyeball the AGMs which is difficult to do when they are just a pixel size. Can easily lose track of them.
